In early December, a two-alarm fire at Taylor Middle School caused significant damage to a classroom that had been used to teach home economics. The fire was largely contained to one room but an adjoining classroom and the hallway suffered minor smoke and water damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TUESDAY<\/mark><\/strong> – Fire reported at 6:40 p.m. Electricity and gas utilities shut off. Classes canceled the next day. BELFOR responds and performs initial damage assessment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WEDNESDAY<\/mark><\/strong> – BELFOR recovery work begins. Power is restored to the building. Classroom contents are inventoried and cleanup begins. Ceiling tiles, sheetrock, and insulation are removed in the room where the fire originated. Air filtration equipment and blowers are placed throughout to remove smoke and to dry wet areas. The hallway and 13 other classrooms are thoroughly cleaned so classes can resume the next day. A temporary wall and door is constructed to prevent students from entering the burnt area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProviding a safe and healthy learning environment is priority number one. BELFOR helped our school recover quickly from the negative aspects of this fire so that we could move forward with the education of our students. We couldn\u2019t ask for a better result.\u201d<\/p>\nJERRY VAUGHN
